I hate the position Im in, I feel like Im backed into a corner with Part P.
I know I need to get registered and I have the application form in front of me, however in order to have jobs for the scheme to come and inspect I need to be Part P registered, in order to be Part P registered I need to be a member of a scheme. Catch 22!
There must be others in my position and how do you get through this?
My initial thought was if I take on a couple of small jobs, ones that dont need to go through building control then the scheme can come and inspect them but then Im left wondering if when the scheme come out to inspect they dont take me on because Im only showing small jobs ???
Im also thinking what if I cock up part of the testing and they say they wont take me on, do they take my £400 and tell me I need to go on a training course and call them when I have achieved it?
Im looking at joining the ECA competent person scheme and looking for advice from fellow members
